Okay so I have a ten right now with an albino, julie, and panda cory. That is all I have, since I took out my betta (he is gettign his own home) :)
Corys are my favorite type of fish, and i was wondering if I should make it my cory tank. I have a ten gallon, with a twenty gall filter 100gph, its a bit too hot for a heater right now -_- But, I will get one in the winter. I have LOTS of plants and a few rocks, black sand and an air pump. Thye love swooping around in the big leafed trees :wub: Is this okay stocking for my ten?

-2 albino (peppered)
-2 panda
-2 julie
 
10g is minimum for corys and they need a bigger tank for breeding, although they are on the difficult side to breed in an aquarium anyway.

They are a lovely peaceful fish and one of my favourites. There are some dwarf species available, which would mean you could keep a larger shoal, which corys prefer.

Corys are very susceptible to nitrite poisoning so clean fresh water is a must, 25% water change weekly, minimum.

Okay thanks:) Today I was at the store and i was buying my betta some stuff, and while I was looking around at the fish, I saw a lonely little panda, the only one in the tank, so of course I adopted him, and he is doing GREAT in my tank, I think he is happy to see another panda! haha

now i think KI will look for the albino, since he the juli is swarming around with the pandas:)
 
In a 10 gallon, I would limit the number of full size cories to about 5 or 6. If you didn't already have 4 cories, I would have suggested maybe 10 pygmy cories but it is too late for that.
